Jesus ate with sinners and publicans

 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?  When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mark 2:15-17
in this passage Jesus's Disciples wondered why Jesus would sit with these Sinners because a person as great and noble as the Son of God should sit with such people as the righteous. But, Jesus says that he is here for the lost as a Doctor is not there for the healthy but for the sick. Sometimes as people we look at others who are sinners or who are doing wrong and we look at them and judge them when sometimes maybe we should put the light into the dark room to show them the way and to show them that there is a better life out there for them. sometimes people dont want to listen but lead by example.  If Jesus was here for only the righteous then there would be people lost in the dark. some of our friends/ family do things that we do not like or wish that they werent doing but if we love these people then we would show them the way either by example or by telling them that this way isnt the right way and that there ways will sometimes lead them into the wrong direction and we are only telling them this is because he care for them and if they were really your friends or loved you then they would atleast listen to you and also maybe God wants us to do this for not only our friends but maybe to strangers or to our enemys because you never know it might just take that one thought and atleast you tried. Bring the light into the Dark room as Jesus did to show people the right path because Jesus is our role model to do what is right and to be what god wants us to be.
God is the Light in the Dark room
